New student employees

• Once you have accepted a job, but before you begin working, you will need to complete your Form I-9 with the Student Employment Office.  Please keep this in mind when you discuss your start date with your manager.  You will complete Section 1 of the Form I-9 in Workday and then schedule your appointment with the Student Employment Office to present your document(s) to complete Section 2 of the form.  You will need to present 1 document from List A or a combination of 1 document from Both List B and List C.  Please refer to the List of Acceptable Documentation.  Only original, non-expired documents are acceptable. Photocopies cannot be used. You will not be eligible to begin working until your Form I-9 is completed with the Student Employment Office. 
• Onboarding: Once you have logged into your Workday account, there will be several onboarding items in your inbox that you will need to complete and submit in order for your hire to be complete. These include reviewing important policies, entering your direct deposit information, as well as tax withholding elections, and contact information.

Time Tracking

• Student employees are paid on a bi-weekly schedule, which can be found on the Simmons Payroll site. Time worked should be entered and submitted each week in Workday to your supervisor for approval.  Please refer to the Time Tracking job aid for assistance. 
• Simmons policy prohibits student employees from working more than 20 hours per week total (including all on-campus and work-study jobs) while school is in session (Fall & Spring Semester).
